The Plugins tables contains incorrect data in some columns e.g. device name in the MAC address column

[Revum34]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues and I checked the docs https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/docs

The issue occurs in the following browsers. Select at least 2.

• Firefox
• Chrome
• Edge
• Safari (unsupported) - PRs welcome
• N/A - This is an issue with the backend

Current Behavior

Going to the Integration menu entry, then Plugins, some tables have an incorrect parsing of data in some columns for the Plugins Objects:

• Arp-Scan, NMAP, AVAHISCAN and FREEBOX plugins: the Plugin objects table shows device name instead of MAC in Mac column.
• NMAP plugins contains (unknown) in Name column.

Expected Behavior

MAC column should contain MAC addresses
Name should be filled in Name column instead of (unknown).

Steps To Reproduce

Just go to Integrations menu, Plugins entry and display the data

app.conf

No response

docker-compose.yml

services:
  netalertx2:
    container_name: NetAlertX2
    healthcheck:

Hi @Revum34 ,

Next version will have the MAC and name displayed like this with an updated header:

[jokob-sk]

The (unknown) value in the nmap plugin is by design. If a host name is discovered by the plugin, it's added via that column. Otherwise the already discovered name from other plugins is used. I changed the title to Resolved Name to make it a bit clearer. I also clarified the docs / README of the plugin:

This plugin is not the best for name resolution (Use e.g.: NSLOOKUP, AVAHISCAN instead), however if available a name will be displayed in the Resolved Name column.

It would be great if you could test this. Can you please switch to the netalertx-dev docker image (backup everything at first or, ideally spin up a separate container with a separate db and config), in about 15 minutes (or after the last action finishes) from now?

Make sure you refresh your browser cache - and click the 🔄 refresh button in the top right corner.

Thanks in advance,

Hi @jokob-sk
Thanks for your fast answer and for the fix.
I confirm that the issue has been fixed in netalertx-dev image.

But you changed the MAC column to MAC(Name).
While the Plugin Objects list shows the MAC address along with the Name, the Event History list shows only the MAC Address.
N.B.: I could check this only with the Arp-Scan Plugin that contains data in Events History.
